>> the same way ronald reagan did. ronald reagan in december of '79 was 30 points behind jimmy carter. and he made the case that the candidate with ideas, the candidate with conservative values, the candidate who could articulate and defend his position was in the end going to be the best candidate. the country decided he was right. i think if you look at newt.org and you look at all the things we've developed, i can go toe to toe with president obama on big things. there are big differences. you know, romney care and obama care were this far apart. a pretty big debate. i'm for dramatically lower taxes. the president is for much higher taxes. i'm for less regulation. the president's for more regulation. i'm for strength overseas to defend israel and to defend the united states. the president's for weakness overseas. i think you can draw a very strong case that in the end the dynamics of a gingrich/obama fight are much better for republicans than the dynamics of a romney/obama fight. >> and let me ask you, you released

ok ronald reagan he was a great man was wrong on this one particular issue and i have to tell you something i take great exception to this misleading argument that the wealthy are paying a lesser amount it's just simply not true there is absolute equality in our tax code now if you had a ditchdigger supermarket clerk or a harvard law professor and they had the wherewithal to invest their money and the patience to keep that investment for longer than one year they would all be taxed at the same rate of fifteen percent and that is equality but the polarizing politics of our president would lead you to believe that equality is unfair and it's sad to see my way out of first well sure not all war is peace not all tax to fifteen percent as you know the capital gains tax is a graduated progressive tax just like the ordinary income tax so if you only earn five or ten thousand dollars where the capitalist gains you only pay you probably pay zero or less than one percent you've got to earn a couple hundred thousand bucks or even a couple million dollars in capital gains before you start paying anythi
